1. PRESENTATION OF THE MACHINE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The PR2 plus is a medium-range specialized printer for the banking environment able to handle documents
(both multi-copy and not) and passbooks for deposit/withdrawal transactions.
This highly versatile printer can also be used for Public Administration front-office transactions or in Post
Offices. It can be configured with a horizontal magnetic unit for read/writing of horizontal magnetic stripes or
with a horizontal magnetic unit and MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Reader) unit to read the lines of code
printed on checks. It can also use various interface and emulation configurations.
The PR2 plus is the evolution, in terms of quality and performance, of the PR2E and guarantees complete
compatibility of firmware and accessories with this.
The performance improvements of the PR2 plus in relation to the PR2 E are outlined briefly below:

1.2 TECHNICAL DATA
1.2.1 PRINT UNIT
The printing device consists of a needle matrix head with overheating protection sensor fitted on the transport
carriage; contrast is provided by a spring-loaded deformation bar that permits adaptation of vertical position to
document thickness at the printing position.
Other features include faster speed of the printhead, increased to a maximum shooting frequency of 2295 Hz,
and a new ribbon with a life of 10 million characters.
The PR2 plus printing device consist of a needle matrix printhead that operates in serial mode and is fitted with
a overheating safety sensor. If the critical temperature threshold is exceeded, printing is interrupted.
To prevent this situation, it will be possible in future to introduce a forced ventilation device. The printer also
features an operating mode that, when a predefined temperature is reached, slows printing until the printhead
returns to normal conditions at which point printing restarts at normal speed.
Snap replacement of the printhead is not envisaged.

1.2.13 SCANNER
A fast color scanner with a resolution of 600 dpi is included.
The scanner features a fixed lower image acquisition element (CIS) and a mobile upper element that moves
from the top down when activated. This action makes it possible for the printer to maintain the same
throughput, in terms of documents managed, as the standard PR2 plus.
When only the upper element is present, a specific closing element replaces the shape of the lower scanning
element. The layout of the two scanners takes into account the fact that it must be possible to activate these at
the same time, eliminating optical disturbances (shadow images) that may occur with particular types of paper.
Two specific models are planned, the first with upper CIS at the paper passage (F), the second with both CIS
(F/R).
Compatibility with a shades of gray CIS equipped with infra-red lighting is planned (RG-IR, option for nonstandard products).

1.9 FIRMWARE AND CHARACTER GENERATORS
1.9.1 FIRMWARE OF MACHINE
In addition to that separate from the generator and from the set characters, the management firmware of the
printer is controlled independently in load operations in order to facilitate immediate access for modifications to
the characters area.
The basic memory of the printer is a 1-MB Flash EPROM on which the management FW, character generators
and characters sets are held and can be replaced on line.
A second Flash EPROM (optional) with the same capacity, able to contain complex character sets or high
volumes of macros and logos, can be installed on the motherboard.
The machine firmware comprises the following emulations:
• Olivetti environment: STD 12/14 controlled protocol with native PR2 E environment and PR40+ and
PR2845 emulation. Industry standard emulation IBM Proprinter II and Proprinter X24.
• IBM environment: Emulation protocol 9068 with coverage of the 4722 model, Industry standard
emulation IBM Proprinter II and Proprinter X24.
• Wincor-Nixdorf environment: Emulation protocol SNI 4915 with coverage of models 4905, Industry
standard emulation EPSON LQ 2550.
1.9.2 CHARACTER SETS
System level compatibility for each character set extends the environments listed below:
ENVIRONMENT CHARACTER SET
PC/DOS CP SET, CODE PAGE
WINDOWS 2.X, 3.0; OS/2; UNIX ISO 8859/X

2.1 ON/OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch of the machine is of the two-position type. The switch is operated by a mechanism that runs
cross the machine in a lengthwise direction.
2.2 CONSOLE
The console of the machine comprises five leds and three keys.
Figure 2-2 Console
During machine set-up (par. 4.2) or calibration (par. 4.3), the keys perform different functions according to the
various procedures.
XZAC4219-03 Service Manual 2-3
2.2.1 MEANING OF THE KEYS ON THE CONSOLE
The keys perform the following functions:
STATION 1: Books operator 1 (Olivetti STD 12/14) or assigns the printer
to operator 1 (*)
STATION 2: Books operator 2 (Olivetti STD 12/14) or assigns the printer
to operator 2 (*)
LOCAL/BREAK: Switches the printer between on-line and off-line status
EJECT (ST. 1): Ejects the document of operator 1 or ejects the document present (*)
EJECT (ST. 2): Ejects the document of operator 2 (*)
(*) According to the emulation selected.
The various machine states are accessed holding down one or more keys during printer power-on and reset. If
the top cover is raised and the console is activated during the machine power-on and reset phase, the
meaning of the leds changes.
The following table indicates the meaning of the keys in both situations.
